bristolbaron 10 Posted February 26, 2005 Damn these dark mornings! Left the house this morning, was still dark. Got to work and it was light, so didn't notice i hadn't turned off my lights! Got back to the car this eve and it wouldnt turn over. Quick call to the AA and i was shortly back on the road. they turned up in 20 mins, so not too bad. Does anyone know if you can fit a buzzer to remind you they're on?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 26, 2005 There used to be a wiring guide on the CCGB eGroup to hook up a generic maplins buzzer to your lights by ex-CCGB member Trevor Rice.. but have just had a poke around and can't seem to find it. Can anyone sort this man out with a copy of that wiring diagram? Ah.. its on the website ;) Install Acrobat reader, and then click on the following link: http://www.corradoclub.org/Tech%20files ... buzzer.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STORM 2 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Ive done this mod, works OK but the Maplin's buzzer isnt half crude and deafening......I like the 'bong-bong' warning sound that you get on more modern cars......anyone know where I can get one.....? ??are they separate units on the modern cars (thinking scrappy here) or are they incorporated into the light units??

kangaroo 0 Posted February 27, 2005 I've also got a terrible habit of leaving an indicator down when I park up, which leaves the corrosponding side-light on. What's the reasoning behind that little 'design' quirk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomB 0 Posted February 27, 2005 I've also got a terrible habit of leaving an indicator down when I park up, which leaves the corrosponding side-light on. What's the reasoning behind that little 'design' quirk? I think it's so that you can leave your car visible in the pitch black countryside when parked on a verge, to avoid getting rear ended. That's what I always used it for :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godskitchen 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Its a "parking light" most Vw's have it. TomB - I dont think we want to know what you have been up to in the countryside in darkness! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted February 28, 2005 :lol: It's rather strange. Why did they scrimp on a lights on buzzer and a low fuel light. Both are hardly high-tech or expensive items :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
